My Hunter remote controlled fan worked great for the first few years, but now the the light comes on and the fan turns off at the same time without me touching the remote or the switch on the wall. Wakes me up in the middle of the night!!!! I tried changing the frequency, but still having this problem. I am about to buy a new fan altogether, but this time it will be a manual operated one.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

you may have a defective remote reciver or even a bad remote.

Take the battery's out of the remote for a couple of days, if the fan turns on, the remote is good.
you can have the remote receiver replaced, they run around $60.00

I have a Hunter fan with remote and the light flickers without coming on completely - and you can hear a clicking noise coming from the fan. The fan works and the bulbs and batteries were changed

The pins inside the remote could have been switched or the wiring inside the fan could have come loose. Check the wiring at the fan first. The vibrations of the fan could have worked the light conrol wire loose.

Light dims but won't turn off with remote

I am affraid that there is not an economical solution for your fan. Afterf four years you probably have a dust build up on circuitry causing a short and excess heat. If you have a source of compressed air for instance an air compressor or a keyboard cleaned you can try blowing out the inner components of the fan. Good luck.

Fan works, light doesn't on Hunter ceiling fan

I would begin by testing each bulb in a different socket somewhere in the house.

Fan does not work, light does

Hello,

Your remote uses a slightly different band of IR for one and the other functions; lamp or on/off. This IR lamp or the circuit that controls the IR lamp has failed. You will need a new remote.

Hunter is good about making replacement parts available but as you said this is five years old. You may have to look for an after market seller on Ebay and chances are very good you can find a new one there.

Hunter ceiling fan

Have you contacted Hunter? Have you turned off the wireless internet to see if fans work? You may have to try another internet brand or try moving to another part of the house.
